Be it known that I, AARON M..DANInI 's, of the city and countyof Hartford, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Artificial Fuel; and to enable others skilled to compound or produce the same, I will proceed to describe the mode or process by which the same is effected.

The nature of this invention will be understood from the following: 7

The-object desired to be attained by this improvement is to consolidate combustib tofore have been considered almost worthless,) to produce a good and cheap fuel. I
